Depends on what you get i got copies however if you get genuine au or ba the offset is different and you need a 10 mil spacer which the rta dont like

nice set walkinshaw, did u have to tub to fit them in????
also what model falcon u got them under

[Walkinshaw]

Under an EL with superlows. 255 still has heaps of room. Next set will be 275's or 285's(if i roll the guards).

[gthofan]

285, the grip will be awesome, and so will the price of the tyres and rims

[snypereb]

$220+ a tyre probably for good quality!

Profile isn't measured in mm. It's the percentage of the tyre width.

The profile is a percentage of the tyre width, not the actual height - eg 225/50/16 would have a nominal side wall height of 112.5mm.

I have Performance 16" mags similar in style to AJR rims, with 245/50/16 Hankook tyres. Had to replace one a couple of years ago after a puncture, $180. They are getting very low on tread now (done roughly 50,000km on them) but I mostly use the stock Sunraysia style steelies, and keep the mags for cruises, track days or drags.

[gthofan]

is there a certain amount of tyre wall u have to have with a thicker or thinner tread width

[gthofan]

and can u have an illegal size tyre and rim

[Stevo]

18" ANZ
245/45/18 Falken 532 , Kingstar on rear (wont ever be getting them again)

[gthofan]
